Watermelon Lyrics by John McCutcheon

Family Garden

0

I was out in the garden pulling up some weeds
When I had got to the place where I had planted those seeds
It was the biggest thing that I'd ever seen
Like a giant football but the color was green

Chorus:
Slurp (Ptt!), Slurp (Ptt!), Slurp (Ptt!), Ahh!
Slurp (Ptt!), Slurp (Ptt!), Slurp (Ptt!), Ahh!
W-A-T-E-R-M-E-L-O-N(What's that spell?)
Watermelon!
W-A-T-E-R-M-E-L-O-N
I sat down the other day just to have a little snack
I took a piece of watermelon out of my sack
It ran down my chin and on to my clothes
I got it in my hair, man, I got it up my nose
Chorus
You know it's green on the outside, pink on the in
But your stomach's gonna ache if you eat the white skin
And you better spit the seeds, cause I'm telling you, brother
They're gonna come out one end or the other
Chorus
